077 Falling asleep
The moon is high and the stars are dotted. The moonlight spreads all over the earth, everything is covered with a thin layer of smoke, and the scenery is like a dream. High-rise buildings are majestic, and colorful neon lights are shining......
Yinque closed the curtains to hide the hustle and bustle of the night outside, "What are you going to do?" β
Mi'er looked at Lan Shimo who was sleeping on the hospital bed, and she wanted to see what the shadow hidden in Lan Shimo's body was that made him unable to wake up: "Dreaming, I want to see why he can't wake up." β
"What do you need me to do?" Yinque walked up to Mi'er's side, and the soft voice made Mi'er's heart warm.
"If there's any abnormality in his breathing and heartbeat, be sure to wake me up." Mi'er sat down on a chair beside the bed, "Also, you have to wake me up before dawn." β
"What if I don't wake you up?" Yinque felt that Mi'er was very serious, and couldn't help but ask.
"Then I won't wake up." Mi'er replied truthfully.
She won't wake up too? Yinque's heart jumped, "Then I'll go to sleep." He didn't think it was a good thing, if she didn't wake up, wouldn't she die, and if she died, his sky would fall.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Mi'er didn't expect Yinque to take the initiative to go to her dream, no matter what his reason was, she was very moved, and unconsciously she showed a smile that reassured him.
A faint smile makes people look particularly good in the dim light.
Sitting next to Lan Shimo, Mi'er closed her hands slightly, pinched her fingertips, a few traces of fluorescence lingered between her hands, and the pale yellow light seemed to be able to confuse people's brains, and make people fall asleep in the haze. Not long after, a pale yellow butterfly flew out of Mi'er's fingertips, and with thin wisps of light, it plunged into the center of Lan Shi's last eyebrows.

As the sun sets, the night envelops the earth. In a small yard with acacia trees.
At the foot of the tall acacia tree was surrounded by bricks. The five or six-year-old boy had messy black hair, big watery eyes, and very soft fair skin. He struggled to carry a bucket full of water, staggering, and moved with difficulty to the acacia tree. The leaves of the acacia tree rustle in the wind, like a beautiful fairy music coming from the other side of the sky.
The boy poured the water at the base of the tree with a bowl, and the sound of the leaves beating against each other became louder, as if they were excited about the cool water. The boy wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his red cheeks smiled to reveal two shallow dimples, which were very beautiful.
Three years ago, he went up the mountain with his mother, and when he came down the mountain, he saw an old man selling acacia trees, and he thought that the name of this tree was very auspicious and good, so he bought it and planted it in the yard and took care of it. Now an adult's arm is thick, tall and lush enough to hold up a cool sky on a hot summer day, and that's the only thing his mother left him.
"Bump!" The door of the courtyard was kicked open, and the smell of alcohol spread through the courtyard. The disheveled man in gray leaned drunkenly against the door frame with a wine bottle, his eyes glazed.
The little boy's body trembled obviously, and he subconsciously hid behind the acacia tree, but accidentally kicked over the bucket under his feet, and the remaining half of the bucket of water was dumped on the ground, and the man's eyes were also attracted. The fear and fear in the little boy's eyes were like a little white rabbit being targeted by a vicious dog, making his whole body tremble and lower his head, as if he wanted to shrink himself into the air.
The man just glanced at him and threw away the wine bottle and staggered into the house, the room was brightly lit, and after a while, something fell to the ground, and the boy's shoulders shook unconsciously with the sound.
The wind poured into the yard, and the acacia trees swayed their branches as if protesting something, and their voices were eager and hoarse, and there was a look of grief.
The boy did not dare to move, and it was not until there was no sound in the room for a long time that he looked into the room, and in the quiet room there was a broken wine bottle on the ground, but there was no man in sight.
The boy breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the barrel and whispered to the acacia tree, "Amu, Dad is back, I'll come back to see you tomorrow morning." As he spoke, he carried the barrel into the house.
The trunk of the tree shook strangely, the trunk that was not thick suddenly became transparent, and the face of a lovely and delicate girl suddenly appeared, and tears were faintly visible in her eyes.
"Leaf, you can't go." As if she knew something, she eagerly reached out to grab the little figure, but in vain, the boy could not see her.
In the middle of the night, the man woke up drunk, and he was awakened by a dream. In the dream was the voice of her wife, blaming him for not taking good care of Yezi, who argued but couldn't push her away, and she clung to his sleeve crying. In a fit of rage, he picked up the fruit knife on the table and threatened his wife, but he accidentally killed the woman, and the bright red blood surrounded him like an endless sea. Fear enveloped him and woke him up in the middle of the night.
Suddenly remembering the leaf, he wanted to see what he was doing on a whim. The cold wind was swishing along the way, and he felt that it was extremely cold tonight, and the small leaves in the bedroom were curled up and lying on the bed, and there was no quilt on such a cold night. He walked over, his heart was soft, after all, it was his own child, and he had done wrong before.
"Leaves, why don't you cover the quilt?" The man pulled the quilt neatly folded on one side and put it over the boy, who was pale and bloodless.
"Yezi, are you sick?" The man reached out to pull the boy, but the boy followed his hand upside down.
Red, a piece of red so vivid, dyed red with white sheets, dazzling! With a trembling hand, he reached for the tip of the boy's nose......
"Ahh Ahh
A terrible cry rang out, and the man rushed out of the room with his aching head in his hands. He remembered, at night he dreamed of killing his wife and woke up, saw the leaves at the door, and he thought it was his wife in the dream, and picked up the fruit knife on the table......
It turned out that it was not a dream, he actually killed his own son, his only relative.
He screamed like crazy and ran out, knocking over many things along the way, only to hear a clanging sound.
A green vine sped along the ground from the acacia tree, and when the man stepped out of the courtyard door with one foot, the other foot was entangled in the vine, and then he fell, and was ruthlessly pulled back to the courtyard.
The man was terrified, but a creepy voice came from behind him.
"Dad, where are you going?" The cold and terrifying voice did not have a trace of warmth.
A cold chill rose up his stiff back, making the sweltering summer night even colder. He didn't dare to look back, but his body was out of control, and he stumbled towards the boy with a thin body and a pale face. The bright red blood in his chest stung his eyes and shocked his nerves, Ye Zi was obviously dead, why was he standing there? The man was creepy!
"Smack! Syllable! Bang Bang Bang! It was the sound of a light bulb popping in the house, and it was instantly dark. The man was swinging all over, guessing in his heart that this must be Ye Zi turning into a ghost to take revenge on him! What to do? What to do? He scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry, and his vest was even more cold sweat.
Looking at the little boy approaching step by step and the faint green light in his eyes, the man trembled and retreated, and when Yu Guang saw the gate, he suddenly had a plan in his heart, he wanted to escape, escape from this terrible place.
Finally, the man's back was against the door, "Yezi, I'm your father, you can't do this to me." The man tried to influence the little boy, "Daddy loves you, loves you very much...... You ......" he observed the little boy's expression as he said warm words, and it was clear that the boy did not agree with his words. The glow in his eyes was even darker, and he turned around violently to open the gate of the courtyard, ready to rush out!
The little boy clearly saw the man's intentions, and a green vine the thickness of an adult's arm flew out of his hand, and the vine was like the sharpest sword in the world, piercing the man's shoulder bone fiercely.
When Mi'er pushed open the wooden door of the small courtyard, she saw this thrilling scene, and the man's warm blood sprayed on her cheeks in surprise. The man was in pain, but the blow didn't kill him, and he watched as the foreign body penetrated his body, blood flowed all over the ground, and his teeth bared and his face twisted and collapsed.
The little boy was immediately excited when he saw this scene, and walked towards the man who was paralyzed on the ground with his mouth open open and grinning, and the sharp and treacherous laughter seemed to break through the sky and buzz through the eardrums of Mi'er.
Before Mi'er could react, a vine pierced the man's other shoulder armor, and the man snorted and rolled on the ground.
Who is this boy? Will it be the end of the blue hour? Mi'er looked at the boy, no, he wasn't, because he wasn't human at all, his eyes were green!
"Leaf, leaf......" the man on the ground snorted, "let me go, let me go...... I didn't want to kill you, it's all your mother...... It was your mother who came to kill me in her dream, and I killed you by mistake......" The man muttered intermittently, his hands grappling the ground with blood, but the pain in his fingers was far less than the pain in his shoulder armor.
Seeing such a tragic scene, Mi'er stepped forward to stop her, but a barrier in front of her blocked her way, and it seemed that she couldn't get close.
"I saw you kill your mother, I'm going to kill you!" The boy's voice was stiff, his throat hoarse, and it seemed as if all his strength had been exhausted in one sentence.
The man didn't expect the little boy to say such a thing, this was the deepest secret in his heart, and now that the secret had been revealed, he seemed to be lying motionless on the ground as if he were a mess of mud.
He got it...... How would he have known that he was in kindergarten that day......
As if he had had had enough, the little boy waved his arm, and countless branches grew out of the two arm-thick vines, wrapping the man's entire body tightly layer by layer. It's just that in an instant, green leaves gradually emerge on those branches, and the fresh green leaves are like mushrooms after a rain, dense and out of control.
The moment the green leaves grew, the man's body turned into a pile of white bones, and the little boy withdrew his hand, and all the vines and branches and leaves were instantly withdrawn into his body. He looked at Mi'er with intense hostility and rejection in his eyes.
"Daddy......" was looking for a child, and when he was confused, another voice as thin as a gossamer sounded in the empty courtyard.
